I guess one day I'll learn to do text so that I can be "on the cutting edge" ...Naaah.

Typing in a little box that moves slowly and goes nowhere... Thoreau would just go for a walk. Not a bad idea. Or, who knows, perhaps he would have made a fine blogger? Emerson would have liked it more, I suspect, since he was a much better networker and self-promoter. LOL! Typing in a little box that moves slowly and goes nowhere…

I look at the box that asks me what am I doing and I want to type in that I am typing in this little box.

Twitter. Right. I'll get right on it, after a fat stogie and about six Yuengling Black and Tans. Ever wonder why I never use the & sign? Because the programmers say it is a special character only reserved for them, and any Web site that uses it suffers in the search engines. Isn't that funny... Another thought about Facebook. I have real life friends who refuse to put ads on their personal, professional Web sites, who refuse to write anything or share photos with their real friends who are trying to create a Web economy for us, yet they create a Web site with Facebook and give free content and photos away, allowing all kinds of nefarious ads on their Facebook Web pages. I have no doubt my personal information is already compromised by this, if it wasn't already just by having a presence in Cyberspace. Or should I say: “Aaarrrggghhh!”
